Any sign to Wi-Fi adapters or any Wi-fi material is gone after recent updates

[Yairasi22]

Few days ago my system made some automatic updates after i shut down my computer. When I restarted it, my computer couldn't find any wireless connection (although my phone or my friend's laptop could). I went to the Device Manager, to the Control Panel and to Internet and Network center, thinking maybe my Wi-Fi adapter was turned off somehow so i will enable it again, or maybe it wasnt activated in the settings, but there wasn't even a sign for any of it. Even when i'm searching the word Wi-Fi in the Start menu my system can't find anything.

Just to mention I don't have an Internet cable cause the only internet connection I have is the wirless modem in my apartment (this message is written from my work).

Is there an option maybe, that you will send me link to download a file or something that would give me the optioon to install a new adapter or something? the only option i can think of is to download something like that to my friend's laptop and than to transfer it to my computer with a cable or a usb stick (don't have this stuff but guess i will have to but it thanks to HP great updates and the great pavillion 15!!)

plz help me, im abroad  and i really need conenction to internet, and this computer is geeting on my nerves.

sorry for my bad english.

thank you.

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Hopefully, one of those will work ...

If it does, then seriously consider disabling Win10 driver updates -- as those cause no end of problems.  I have driver updates disabled on ALL my Win10 PCs.  Here are the instructions:  http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/48277-driver-updates-windows-update-enable-disable-windows-10-a.h...

Good Luck

well my friend. thank you so much. The second link you attached helped me a lot. 

The solution was to enter the HP Recovery Manager. Than I had the option to re-install the WI FI adapter (although I couldn't find any sign to it in the Device Manger). Did it, it took 2 minutes, than restarted the computer and problem solved.

Thanks alot!
